World Days Tribute to Churchill (Universal Newsreel, Jan 1965)

Description

The original release sheet reads: WORLD DAYS TRIBUTE TO CHURCHILL In his sunset years, Sir Winston Spencer Churchill was confined to his London home at 28 Hyde Park Gate and it was here that the eyes of the world turned. Through his writings and his many immortal phrases, the name Churchill will continue to ring down the corridors of time. We, here and now, were privileged to know his greatness - the greatness that is summarized in this pictorial record of an unparalleled career from his birth at Blenheim Castle to his fading years at Hyde Park Gate. DEATH FROM THE SKY Shattered homes and wreckage mark the site of a disaster from the skies. 23 neighborhood residents in northeast Wichita, Kansas and 7 crewmen died when a tanker plane crashed shortly after take-off. 10 children were among the dead and 200 people had their homes destroyed or damaged. The cause of the disaster may never be known. SHIP AHOY BOAT SHOW SAILS INTO NEW YORK Ignore the snow and the sleet in New York . . . they're hoisting the fair weather signals. Why not? WIth the boat show on deck you can ignore winter for a few hours and bask in the warmth of our imagination. If you don't see a boat to your liking - it can mean only one thing... It hasn't been built yet!
